Rules for writing structures
(1) you must know the order in which theatoms are connected
This is normally determined by experimentand is referred to as the constitution of amolecule
General rule: the atom with the lowest electronaffinity is usually the central atom

Rules for writing structures
(1) you must know the order in whichthe atoms are connected
This is normally determined by experiment and isreferred to as the constitution of a molecule
Example: hypochlorous acid has themolecular formula HClO. But the atoms areconnected in the order of HOCl
![Page 5: How to write lewis structure](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042510/5564e46ed8b42ad3488b4eef/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rules for writing structures
(2) Count the number of valence electrons
For main group elements this is the same as thegroup number in the periodic table
Example: hypochlorous acid : HOCl
H 1 electron O 6 electron Cl 7 electron
total 14 valence electrons
![Page 6: How to write lewis structure](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042510/5564e46ed8b42ad3488b4eef/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rules for writing structures
(3) write out the constitution in a formthat shows the covalent bonds and countthe number of electrons in covalent bonds
4 electrons in covalent bonds
14 valence electrons
10 electrons remain to be assigned
Example: hypochlorous acid H O Cl
![Page 7: How to write lewis structure](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042510/5564e46ed8b42ad3488b4eef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rules for writing structures
(4) assign remaining electrons so as tocomplete the octets of as many atoms aspossible.
Example: hypochlorous acid HOCl
(4 electrons in covalent bonds + 10 moreelectrons assigned as shown)

Rules for writing structures
(5) when the number of electrons isinsufficient to complete the octetes of all ofthe atoms, assign them to atoms in order ofdecreasing atom electronegativity.
Example: nitrous acid HNO2 ( HONO )
Need to assign 12 electons in addition to 6 foundin three bonds
18 valence electrons

Formal Charge
does not represent the real charge on anatom in the molecule
it can however be used to determine thevalidity of a molecules Lewis structure
Try to minimize formal charge in your Lewisstructures
Avoid positive values of formal charge onhighly electronegative elements

The sum of the formal charges of allatoms in a given molecule or ion mustequal the overall charge on that species

formal charges are closer to actualatomic charges than are oxidation states

Electrons in molecules are often delocalizedbetween two or more atoms.
What writing resonance structuresaccomplishes
electrons in a single Lewis structure are assignedto specific atoms
a composite of resonance forms more accuratelydepicts electron distribution
a single Lewis Structure is insufficient to showelectron delocalization.
